This came out in 1989 (and it is very '80s), but I didn't see it until 2026. Honestly, I feel like rating it "kinda liked" is simultaneously generous and stingy. It really depends on how you look at it. It's very campy, and I could easily file my review under "weird movies", but instead I'm going with "sci-fi comedy". The whole thing is redonkulous, and I don't think it's actually good at all. But it can be fun, if you watch it in the right frame of mind. Then again, some people might not be capable of liking it in any frame of mind. Others might love it. If you're into goofy, campy movies (it kind of reminds me of John Waters movies), it does that in spades. Oh, it's also a musical, but there aren't too many songs, and they don't really break up the story that much. In fact, they serve to advance the plot pretty well. I wouldn't say I liked any of the songs, but... well, I don't know what to say about them, actually. They're just sort of there.

Anyway, there are these three brightly-colored, furry aliens named Mac (Jeff Goldblum), Zeebo (Damon Wayans), and Wiploc (Jim Carrey), who apparently have been away from home, on their small spaceship, for a long time. So they're eager to find some women, and after they intercept a TV signal from Earth, they decide to go there, I guess, and crash into a swimming pool in the San Fernando Valley. But before that happens, we meet the owners of the home whose pool it is, Dr. Ted Gallagher (Charles Rocket) and his fiancee, a manicurist named Valerie Gail (Geena Davis). When Val catches Ted almost cheating on her, she throws him out of the house. It's some time later that the aliens crash land in her pool, while she's sunbathing. She apparently thinks she's hallucinating the ship, because her thoughts have been all scrambled by what happened with Ted, so she tries to swim through the ship. Of course, she ends up hitting it with her head and being knocked unconscious. The aliens take her aboard their ship and revive her. At first she's scared, especially since they can't speak English, and in her efforts to get out of the ship, she accidentally damages it. She soon gets over her fear, and invites the aliens into her home. She calls her pool guy, a surfer named Woody (Michael McKean) to drain the pool, so that the aliens can effect repairs and go home. While the pool is being drained, Val decides to take her new friends to the beauty salon where she works, and her friend and coworker, Candy (Julie Brown), gives the aliens makeovers (basically, shaving off all their fur), and it turns out they look human underneat it all.

Meanwhile, Ted wants to get back together with Val, and she's not sure what she wants. But the aliens begin learning English from television (Mac seems to get much better at it than the other two). And... all sorts of wacky hijinks ensue. Also, Mac and Val develop feelings for each other, and end up having sex (though Val doesn't want Mac to think that Earth girls are easy). When Ted learns that Val has been hanging out with three weird guys (who she claims are a rock band she'd won a chance to spend time with from an MTV contest), he's upset, and just wants to get rid of them. And... I think I've said enough. I don't want to spoil any more details, or how it all ends. But like I said, it's kinda fun. And weird.
